Social Change + Activism, Special Events

Can Youth Carry the Vision of Nonviolence? YES

In honor of the Season of Nonviolence, Respect Rx is participating in an amazing conference in San Jose: Carry the Vision. The event will bring together more than 850 youth, parents, community leaders and members of Chavez, Gandhi and King families (I hope those names ring a bell). The goal is to:

ENGAGE with others who are transforming their lives and communities through the power of nonviolence.

LEARN nonviolent practices that allow you to creatively and dynamically meet the challenges of our time.

DISCOVER how the human values of caring and compassion can fuel our commitments to deep and profound change.

REALIZE what you can do to make a difference.

A Youth Leadership Summit is at the heart of the conference. More than 50 youth delegates (including two fabulous young women nominated by Respect Rx) will come together to explore their vision of the future and discover how the principles and practices of nonviolence can be applied to create a visionary model for 21st century leadership in the community and the world. These amazing young adults will also get to interact and learn from legendary social change agents including Arun Gandhi, Ela Gandhi, Yolanda King (keynote), Dr. Bernard Lafayette, Jr., Paul Chavez, Richard Chavez, Dolores Huerta and others.
